Backpack Essentials

School is just around the corner, and along with it looms a whole new world of stress. You’re thinking, “Will I find the time to take care of myself? How can I keep up with my beauty routine?”

We know how overwhelming a new semester can be. Crazy-busy days, shifting sleep schedules and nonstop activities can take a toll on your looks. Never fear. Wrangling your beauty essentials can be the easiest part of your college prep—pinky swear. These cult favourite face and body finds from Japan are botanically based, and their cute and quirky packaging will make you smile in the middle of a jam-packed day.

Blot away unwanted shine with these 100% natural hemp sheets made with Japanese papermaking techniques. These powder-free, portable cuties freshen your look without makeup any time you need a touchup. Matte finish means you save the shine for where you want it!

Now here’s where you want a subtle shine. Our rich lip balm softens with olive oil and aloe, and gives lips a polished, natural gleam. Free of fragrance and added colourants, Lip Cream also works great over lipstick as a gloss.

Petite, portable Olive Virgin Oil Swabs are multipurpose swabs pre-moistened with organic olive oil. They moisturise and load up on antioxidants to protect your skin from stress, perform cosmetic detail work and hydrate cuticles. Eyeliner and make-up mistakes? Sorted. Now that’s what we call being prepared.

When time—and space—are at a premium, that’s your cue to pare down to the essentials. Toss these into your bag and you’ll be ready for anything the day throws at you.
